The Inspire? AT&T, right? If that's what you're asking then there is a zero percent chance. Nada.

Do you mean that you bought a phone with a bad esn and they won't let you use it?

Yes. I'm not asking for myself, I'm asking for a friend. He paid off his acct but they still wont turn it on. So it has bad esn. What can he do? Anything we can flash?

The only way to do it and stay on Sprint is illegal and not allowed to be talked about on this forum

Can u private message me then

The only way for the phone to remain on Sprint is for your buddy to be persistant with Sprint, and get them to release the ESN. If the account is paid for, the phone should no longer have a hold on it. Otherwise, it will only work with cricket/metro pcs, and possibly Boost, if you find the right CS associate.

I'm using evo shift on the China Telecom

Hello. I would really like to figure out how I can use this Evo Shift on boost mobile. I recently flashed my HTC Droid Incredible to Cricket so I have some knowledge. I would flash this to Cricket but the service coverage is horrible. Thanks for any help.

There are plenty of guys with Evo 4Gs on Boost. The only thing you really need to do is to have the CS add your ESN to Boost. There is no cloning involved. You may need to call a few times, and kind of play ignorant as to what type of phone you have (say a keyboard phone). But, based on what I read in the Evo forum, the rep can just add the ESN, and it's not a big deal. I'd read up more on adding a phone to boost under the Evo forum, and PM the people, to see what they had to do.

Hey there evo users

If I got a evo with a bad esn on the sprint network would I be able to flash it over on Verizon? Just a question brother in law has sprint and put a claim that he lost his evo (cracked screen) just wondering or if he gives it to me just use it as a developers phone?

You could flash it to cricket, but not to verizon.
No cricket here in swfl lol just metro

ESN... unless you know someone well inside verizon, they wont allow you to activate the phone on their network (kind of the same thing why you cannot activate a vzw phone over sprint)

Mytouch 4G prepaid?

Can I use it on tmobile monthly 4G
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
I'm pretty sure you can.
The T Mobile Network is the T Mobile Network. It's not like they have a separate network for pre paid plans.
For definitive answers just call T mobile customer service. They will give you the answer real quickly.
Yes you can i am currently on that plan

Evo 4G on a prepaid service.

Is it possible to flash the Evo to a prepaid service? If so, can you point me in the direction of correct post?

Evo to Cricket is all over the internet.
Cricket is relatively easy some of their stores will even do the whole process for you.
Evo to Boost is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689303
Boost can be about as difficult as Cricket, but sometimes closer to Virgin, it just depends on if you can get them to activate it.
You can sometimes buy pre-activated Evo 4g and Evo 3d on Boost from Craigslist.
Evo to Virgin Mobile is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742287
Note that Virgin is by far the most difficult/expensive/risky to do and the most limited in terms of available roms if you need mms to work (CM7 and CM9 only).
Oh wow thanks for putting that together.

I may retire the Supersonic today...

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!
The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.

Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.
I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

This is helpful, when I try it I'll get back to you. I'm at the library now to use internet but can't install such programs here due to policies, ect. I'll try again either tomorrow over the weekend.

And no, I paid forty bucks to cricket to flash. And when I tried to go to a closer one to reflash they said I had to pay 20 bucks or go to the store I initially flashed at. How lame is that?

Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.
If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.

I actually was just on Ting, haha, they're good service but too expensive, I like unlimited data.
Yeah so reflashing with cricket to regain 3g and mms is a no go right now, cricket wants to charge me and I can't do that right now. I'll be sure to shoot you an email in my attempts to get my phone working again.

I've been using DK reincarnation. I messed up msl programming and got it reflashed at a repair place, 3g works but gets an error message every half hour or so and mms is a no go. I'm gonna do it myself when I get the time.
